It takes more than a classroom to build peace. It takes dialogue, understanding, and empowered young people.

Through our Classroom as a Vector of Peace Project, we engaged approximately 30–45 students in meaningful and interactive conversations on peaceful coexistence, personal growth, and their role in building a more peaceful society.

At a time when our society is witnessing increasing violence and conflict, initiatives like this are more important than ever. By equipping young people with the values of dialogue, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence, we are helping to nurture a generation that can become agents of peace and positive change.

What kind of values are we teaching the generation that will shape our future?

It is often said that “teach a child good values, and they will not depart from them when they are grown.”

At a time when our society continues to witness femicide, bullying, hate speech, gender-based violence and other forms of violence, teaching children and young people about peace, respect and empathy has never been more important.

This is why Berine and Bokwe Foundation (BEBOF) is committed to building a generation that understands the value of peaceful coexistence and knows that violence is never the answer.

Through our “The Classroom as a Vector for Peace” project, we engage students in meaningful conversations and activities on peacebuilding, respect, tolerance, bullying, hate speech and responsible communication.

Because preventing violence starts long before violence happens. It starts with the values we teach our children today.

Let us raise a generation that chooses dialogue over violence, empathy over hatred, and peace over.

Young people are not just leaders of tomorrow—they are peacebuilders and changemakers today. ✌🏾

Yet, challenges such as drug abuse, peer pressure, bullying, hate speech, and violence can put their potential at risk.

Through The Classroom as a Vector for Peace, we work with students to promote peaceful coexistence, responsible social media use, respect, and positive choices, helping young people become voices for peace in their schools and communities.

When young people choose peace, they help build a safer and more peaceful future.

Happy International Youth Day! 💙🌍

Imagine a society where conflict is common and violence seems inevitable because peaceful solutions are not taught or practiced.

At Berine and Bokwe Foundation (BEBOF), we believe that lasting peace begins with education. Through our "Classroom as a Vector for Peace" project, we are empowering children and young people with the knowledge and skills to manage conflicts peacefully, promote dialogue, and become ambassadors of peace in their communities.

By nurturing a culture of understanding, respect, and non-violence in the classroom today, we are building stronger, safer, and more united communities for tomorrow.

Peace is learned. Peace is practiced. Peace is shared.

Together, let's raise a generation that chooses dialogue over division and understanding over violence.

🕊️ PEACE IS A SKILL WE MUST BUILD TOGETHER
"Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means."
Conflict is a natural part of human interaction, but violence and division do not have to be.

True peace is achieved when individuals and communities are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to resolve differences through dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect.

Through our Institutionalization of Peace and nonviolent Conflict Management Project, Berine and Bokwe Foundation (BEBOF) is committed to fostering a culture of peace by strengthening conflict resolution mechanisms, promoting social cohesion, and empowering communities to become agents of positive change.

Together, we can build institutions and communities where peace is practiced every day—not just hoped for.

🤝 Choose dialogue over division.
🕊️ Choose understanding over hatred.
🌍 Choose peace for a better future.

What if our classrooms became spaces where peace is taught, practiced, and lived every day?

Our 3-minute documentary on the Classroom as a Vector for Peace initiative highlights the journey of young people being empowered as peace ambassador through dialogue, leadership training, conflict management practices, and community engagement.

From the establishment of a Peace Club in GHS Bokwango to student leadership installations, interactive peace trainings, and advocacy through media platforms like CBC Radio Buea, this initiative continues to demonstrate that young people have the power to shape more peaceful communities when given the right guidance and opportunities.

Over 30 students have already been trained and equipped with practical peacebuilding skills, becoming voices of unity, tolerance, and social cohesion within their schools and beyond.

This documentary is more than just a reflection of activities carried out—it is a call for collective action toward building classrooms that inspire understanding, respect, and lasting peace.

🎥 Watch. Share. Support the movement for peace through education.

Peace education does not end in the classroom—it must also reach the wider community.

As part of the ongoing Classroom as a Vector for Peace initiative, the Berine and Bokwe Foundation recently visited CBC Radio Buea to raise public awareness on the importance of peacebuilding, social cohesion, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence within our schools and communities.

During the radio session, discussions focused on the vital role young people play in promoting unity and how classrooms can become safe spaces for tolerance, understanding, and nonviolent conflict resolution.

The platform also provided an opportunity to share the impact of the initiative so far, including the training of Peace Ambassadors and the establishment of Peace Clubs in schools.

By engaging the media, we continue to amplify the message that peace is everyone’s responsibility and that lasting change begins with education and community participation.

Together, we can build classrooms, schools, and communities where peace thrives.

What happens when young people are trusted with leadership and responsibility for peace?

At GHS Bokwango, where the Classroom as a Vector for Peace initiative is currently being implemented, another important milestone was achieved during our recent visit.

As part of the continuous training process, students received further guidance on peace management practices, dialogue, teamwork, and peaceful conflict resolution. But beyond the training sessions, a remarkable moment unfolded—the official installation of student leaders who will coordinate and lead the Peace Club within the school.

The students democratically assumed leadership positions, including President, Vice President, and other key responsibilities, taking a solemn vow to serve with commitment and integrity throughout the course of the project.
This step is more than a leadership appointment; it is a practical lesson in responsibility, accountability, and respect for institutional hierarchy.

By learning to work with and respect their elected leaders, these students are equally learning values that will guide them in society and future leadership spaces.
Through this initiative, we continue to build not only peaceful classrooms but also responsible young leaders capable of promoting unity, discipline, and social cohesion within their communities.

What began as a simple training session in Maroua is gradually becoming a meaningful movement of hope, leadership, and peacebuilding among young people.

On Saturday, 9th May, under the Classroom as a Vector for Peace initiative, our partners in Maroua successfully launched the Maroua phase of project activities through the establishment of the Peace Education Club at Lycée de Makabaye.

During the workshop, 16 students from different classes were trained and inducted as Peace Ambassadors, alongside three committed consultants, including the school principal and two facilitators, who will mentor and guide the club’s activities.

The sessions focused on peace education, responsible citizenship, conflict prevention, peaceful communication, tolerance, and social cohesion. Students actively participated and demonstrated a strong commitment to becoming agents of positive change in their school and community.

At the end of the workshop, certificates of participation were awarded to the students in recognition of their dedication and involvement.

This successful launch reminds us that peace begins in the classroom, grows through education, and spreads through empowered young leaders ready to make a difference.

Together, we continue building classrooms that inspire dialogue, understanding, and lasting peace.

This initiative is part of the Connected Cameroon Project of the Goethe-Institut Kamerun, supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.

During our recent session at GHS Bokwango, students from diverse cultural and social backgrounds came together in an inspiring moment of interaction, learning, and unity. Through discussions and activities centered on cultural diversity and peaceful coexistence, they demonstrated that despite our differences, peace can flourish when understanding and respect lead the way.

One powerful moment stood out.

Five students formed a tight circle, shoulder to shoulder, hands connected in a symbolic act of cohesion. In that simple formation, a deeper lesson unfolded — peace is not only taught, it is practiced.

Then came the moment that brought it all to life.

In one united voice, they broke the silence with a powerful declaration: “Let’s promote peace in the classroom!”

It was more than a chant. It was a reminder that every classroom can become more than a place of learning — it can become a vector of peace, where understanding replaces conflict and unity shapes every interaction.

This initiative is part of the Connected Cameroon project of the Goethe-Institut Kamerun, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and implemented through our ongoing Classroom as a Vector of Peace activities by the Berine and Bokwe Foundation alongside other partners.
